Call a Matlab function in Simulink from the current folder

Good morning.

Is it possible to create in Simulink a block that calls a MATLAB function placed in the same folder? I know that it is possible to copy-paste the code in a MATLAB function block, but I would like the Simulink simulation to call directly the function file (e.g. "function.m") from the current folder of from the Simulink project. The function is multi-input thus I cannot use the "Interpret MATLAB function" block.

Thank you for any help

There are numerous ways to call a function in Simulink block:

1. MATLAB function block - intend to generate code from your model.

2. Interpret MATLAB function block - if you don't care about code generation.

3. Fcn block - if you have trivial expression to evaluate.

4. Create a "function.m" file in the current directory and then according to the your requirement you can set the callbacks in the "File->Model properties->Callbacks".

Suppose, you want your function to get executed before the model runs, you can place the function name in the "InitFcn". There are other callbacks model as well to choose from.
